Easy, comfortable Coconut beef.

Once again, ate it before I got a picture -.- I'm really good at that, it seems. Anyway, I created (in my mind I created it, though it probably exists somewhere...) this lovely coconut-y goodness. It's a coconut rice (which can be eaten on it's own, god knows I've done it before) with a stir-fry on top. It's a nice and yummy and gentle flavor but yummy enough that it's not boring. This should serve..... about 2-3 people as long as you guys aren't being fat. Srsly, don't hog. I'll do black text to represent the rice instructions, and green to represent the stir-fry instructions. It is in the order you'll want to do it in. That's right, I'm writing out how to manage your time in the kitchen. You're welcome.

Ingredients:
-1 cup basmati rice
-3/4 cup coconut milk (NOT WATER)
-1 1/4 cup water
-1 spring onion/green onion/scallion

-About half a pound to a pound of the stir-fry steak or strip of beef
-1 head of broccoli
-5 white mushrooms
-handfull of snap/snow peas
-1 (and a half, if you'd like) zucchini/courgette
-1/2 a small vidalia onion
-1 clove garlic
-1 1/2 tbs soy sauce
-1 cup-ish coconut milk
-1/2 tsp curry powder
- salt and pepper to taste

L-L-L-L-Let's do this.(leeerrooyyyyyyy jeeennkkinnss)
1. Put your basmati rice, coconut milk and water in a pot all together. Stir it with a fork, cover it. Set the element on high.
1. Chop up your vidalia onion first into medium dices. Turn your element on medium-low with a little bit of sesame or canola oil in the pan. Mince your garlic. Cut up your steaks if they're not already (thin, plz). Once the pan is heated, put that in.

2. Once your rice is boiling, take your fork and stir it up, then put the lid back on and let it simmer for 10 minutes. Really, time it, ten minutes. ONCE THE TEN MINUTES IS UP, DON'T LIFT THE LID!
2. Cut up your head of broccoli into smaller-than-bite-sized pieces. Slice your courgette/zucchini (fuck you, it's a zucchini) lengthwise, then slice it into 0.5 cm thick half medallions. Slice your mushrooms. De-string your snow peas and cut them in half so they're not stupidly long.

3. At the ten minute mark, turn off your element and just leave the damn pot alone for another 10 minutes. Seriously, don't lift the lid. I know you want to, but don't do it.
3. Add the coconut milk, soy sauce and curry powder to the pan once the meat is ALMOST completely brown. Stir it all up with a spatula. Let it simma down na.

4. TTHINLLYY slice your scallion/green/spring onion. Has your rice been ten minutes? Yes? Good! Open that bitch up and add your sliced onion stuff and stir it up with the fork. No, it hasn't been ten minutes? Seriously. Leave it until the answer is "yes".
4. Mix up your stuff every once in a while and let the milk evaporate (doesn't have to do it completely). Add a few shakes of your pepper and salt, stir it up one more time and serve it over your rice.

Breakfast burritos

oohhhh dear god these are so perfect that I had to wrap them up and put them in the freezer to eat them later before I just started eating the filling out of the bowl. These ARE freezer friendly :) Just take 'em out of the freezer, unwrap it (from your aluminum foil or plastic wrap), put it on a microwave safe plate, and zap it for about 1:30 :)

- 1/4 medium cooking onion
- 5 mini potatoes
- 6 breakfast sausages
- 2 garlic cloves
- 6 eggs
- 1 tomato
- a handful of shredded cheddar cheese
- 5 white mushrooms
- 4-6 tortillas
- Canola or sunflower oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Nutmeg


1. Get some salted water heating in pot. Dice up the potatoes. Put them in the pot and let it boil for about 10 minutes and strain.
2. Heat oil in a large non-stick pan. Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Throw it in the pan. Add the potatoes in too.
3. Take the sausage meat out of the tubing and throw it in the pan, and chop it up with your spatula.
4. Quickly slice up the mushrooms and toss those in as well. Dice the tomatoes.
5. Season with the salt, pepper and nutmeg. Throw the tomatoes in.
6. Let it all get cooked. Once the meat is completely cooked, let it sizzle away for about 4 more minutes. Remember to keep stirring and tossing it :)
7. Put the mixture inside a bowl and put that to the side. Put the pan back on the stove.
8. Crack all 6 eggs into a bowl and whisk them. Put them in the pan and let them cook til they're almost dry or "overcooked" (without burning, obviously). Add the cheddar cheese. Blend and combine the eggs and cheese with your spatula until the cheese is melted.
9. Turn off your stove, add the cheesey eggs to the tomatopotatomushroomoniongarlic mixture and mix it all together.
10. Wrap about a 1/2 cup of the mixture to a tortilla and either serve or wrap and freeze.

Enjoy!

Greenery

So we always see those hand soaps and stuff that are cucumber and melon scented. I figured, let's try it out in a food way. It's simple, fresh, and yummy.
-2 cups honeydew melon
-1 1/4 cups chopped cucumber
-7 tbsp vanilla yogurt
Stick it all in a blender and blend until smooth. Chill in the fridge (it's much better cold)

my sexy bruschetta

Usually this is a pretty massive recipe so I've cut it down a little, just for you!
Bruschetta mix:
2 Cups tomatoes
diced 1 cup red onions
diced 1 1/4 tbsp finely chopped garlic
2 tbsp roasted garlic oil
2 green onions, chopped
3/4 cup shredded asiago cheese
1 tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 balsamic vinegar salt and pepper, to taste

Pesto spread (not exact because it's not really THAT important):
1 handful basil leaves
1 handful arugala leaves
1/2 tsp FINELY chopped garlic
1 tsp olive oil
1 french baguette

 Alright! Let's get to work!
1. Prepare the bruschetta mix, cover the bowl/hotel pan in plastic wrap.Ideally, let it sit in the fridge for about 4 hours in it's juices, let the flavours meet, mingle, marry and make love. Maybe stir once or twice in that time to get the stuff on top to the bottom.
2. Use a mortar and pestle or a blender to combine the ingredients for the pesto.
3. Slice the baguette on an angle, so you get more surface area.
4. Spread pesto (which should be a very fine paste) onto bread slices. Not much is needed.
 5. Put bread slices under heat of some sort (low broiler, low salamander, etc...). Remove from heat. Place a scoop of bruschetta mix onto bread, sprinkle with asiago cheese, place back under the heat to melt the cheese.
6. Enjoy sexy bruschetta.
